Romulan Temporal Destroyer no Cloak???

Ok, ALL Romulan ships come with a cloaking device of some sort, except for 1 that is, the new destroyer. All they did was a copy and paste from the regular Federation Temp destroyer to the romulan one and gave it a different skin, Im fine with this except for 2 issues, 1 it needs to come with a battle cloak, and 2 fix the bridge, i know all you did was change all the colors to green on the rom temp bridge but thats not event showing up, I go to the bridge and its the same one colors and all thats on the fed destroyer.
PLEASE FIX THESE!
Thanks

Yes, it's got a romulan-y name, and a romulan-y skin. But unless you want the Mobius and Krenn to get battle cloaks to, your request doesn't make sense.
The day will not save them. And we own the night.
It's weird that they didn't do that when like practically every romulan fleet Boff comes with a +cloak on it.
Yeah, all the temporal ships are supposed to be the same ship. It's not like the heavy destroyers where you have 3 similar ships, with faction specific modifications.
That's how lockbox & lobi ships are supposed to work.

LOL, sorry its not a Mogai with better stats. The fleet mogai has 51K hull, universal BOFF station as well, not to mention the great 2 piece console set that it comes with including a battle cloak, singularity powers.
You cant even use the universal rommie ship consoles on the timeship. It is not worth the effort to obtain one. Its a direct copy and paste and has no business taking the warbird name.
Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
If you can't bear to fly it without cloak, don't get it.
It's STO's way of being PC, make them equal to the FED and KDF destroyers instead of making the FED and KDF equal to the Romulans and giving all a battle cloak.
But instead we got a copypasta.
Now those same ships on a Romulan, no way. It is not the lack of a cloak, or the singularity core. They just don't appeal to me, any other lockbox ship at all.
hell I opened boxes and got a few JHEC, I sold them to buy more keys, and Borg Boffs. I was after lobi for consoles anyways.
Cool for those who want them, but personally not to my taste.
That said the Time science ship is a good compliment to the Romulan ship lineup, no doubt about that.
As far as a ship to buy and play, I think the Haakona is much much more interesting.
Of course you get a Copy & paste! It's a lock box ship!
Do you also expect battle cloaking Galors and Jem'Hadar ships? Just because Cryptic were generous enough to give faction specific skins, you all want them to design totally different ships!
Be glad they didn't leave it with just a wells.

Why? If it's just copy&paste those two romulan and klingon models could have been used in a more efficient way - like for two real klingon and romulan ships. Klingons are waiting since ages to get more ships, romulans are also lacking some more (esp. science) ships. Why wasting models for a pointless masquerade?
Just because the Romulans racial trait comes with +Subterfuge, does not really mean that every single Romulan ship from here on out is going to have a cloak. Its a bonus, applied in certain circumstances. There are plenty of Romulan ships to chose from that have the cloak.
And for the people whose bottom-line is that the Romulan ships must all have cloaks.
~ Here's be bad news. ~
Prepare to get let down a great deal.
There are plenty of Lockbox ships on the horizon. Somehow I do not expect them to have cloaks.
Not all Lockbox Ships are Romulan ships. If a Romulan player decides to fly a ship from another faction that they got via a lockbox then its fair game to not have the features a romulan ship would have.
I was surprised there was no cloak ability whatsoever ... even the Adapted Tal Shiar Destroyer/Cruiser respectively have one and that's Romulan technology infused with Borg technology. I somehow doubt that 29th century Romulans would have gotten rid of their biggest strategic advantage so it is more than likely a balancing act by the developers. To that end I'm sure they could have also given the Klingon Korath/Krenn and Romulan R'Mor/Talvath a basic cloak ... and some other ability for the Federation Wells/Mobius.
Having said that ... I like this rationale about the Tholians stripping the cloaking device from the ship
that is completely true, can't use Romulan Consoles cause the Romalan Temporal Destroyer and the Romulan Temporal Science Vessel, they are not warbirds at all no warbird in there name. Also if you read up on both says the Romulan Temporal Destroyer is from the mirror universe so just cause the Romulans use cloak in prime universe who's to say that the Romulans in mirror universe never used or created the cloaking technology
with all stats and even a warp core.only change is look.
actually you get same ship twice
The nice thing about that explanation is you could say the Time ship had the most advanced cloak possible a phased cloak that would allow the ship to pass through objects and possibly fire while cloaked. That way they're giving the impression the Romulans have advanced their technology over the years but you're not unbalancing the game by actually giving players a beefed up cloak.
Besides by then the Romulans should have a phase cloak given they were working on it back in TNG and the federation even had an experimental one , heck the Klingons were trying for one too.
Replace the word effort with $,$$$ and I agree w/ this statement so much it's impossible to improve on. Glad I didn't pick it.
Hopefully, one day we will get a revamp of the Temporal Ship Packs to be faction specific. Keep hope alive.

I like this idea... still the Romulan version should have a Singularity Core.
